Just a 4- hour tour, but the Mingo Snapper (Vermillion Snapper) were slammin! Dolphins robbed at least a third of our hook-ups, but still brought back 50 good eatin’ Mingos. (Most hooks are doubled-up on the fish board).

Brought up a 61 pound Cobia on the Trade Winds on 4-7-23. Might be a Trade Winds' record; 100% a record for the last several years. Amazing job to our Anglers, Captain, and Deckhands! That is one heck of a sammich in the making!

Beautiful day starting with the sunrise.The group arrived as the sun was breaking. everyone now anxious to depart we head for the rocks to look for some live bait. Not much there, time to keep moving. First stop should be about 30 miles out. The fish were hungry. Amber jack to make you feel like you've been hit by a truck, trigger fish and red snapper to work your arms and the grouper to reek havoc with your good nature.

Another beautiful day out on the Gulf of Mexico aboard the TRADEWINDS! Snapper season was still closed so this lucky fish was returned to be caught another day.
